Review: White Hot by Ilona Andrews

Publication Date: 5/30/2017

Series: Hidden Legacy #2

Rating: 5 Stars

Official Blurb:

Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill—she knows when
people are lying—and she's used that magic (along with plain, hard work) to
keep her colorful and close-knit family's detective agency afloat. But her new
case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed the city of
Houston once before, bringing Nevada back into contact with Connor
"Mad" Rogan.

Rogan is a billionaire Prime—the highest rank of
magic user—and as unreadable as ever, despite Nevada’s “talent.” But there’s no
hiding the sparks between them. Now that the stakes are even higher, both
professionally and personally, and their foes are unimaginably powerful, Rogan
and Nevada will find that nothing burns like ice …

It has been
quite a very long time since a book has grabbed me in the way that White Hot
did. I’m not talking about the
can’t-put-it-down kind of attention grab. No, this book was more of the
go-the-hell-away-I’m-reading or I-don’t-care-that-the-house-is-on-fire book. Yes, it was good enough that I wouldn’t have
left my couch even with the house burning down around me until this book was
finished.

Even though
it had been quite some time since I read the first book, it was like stepping
back into a story with a group of friends as if a second hadn’t passed by. Let alone, over a year.

Nevada is a
strong heroine lover’s dream character. She’s strong-willed, family-oriented,
and as fierce as they come. When things
hit the fan, she steps up for her family and her clients. She’s definitely the kind of person you would
want in your corner when you needed help. Her family is compiled of odd balls,
but you’ll love them just as much as Nevada.

But the
character you might love even more is Rogan.
He’s complex, moody, demanding, and controlling. All words that you
wouldn’t normally associate with someone you’d love, but in his own way, it
works for him. He’s lead a rough life,
and the decisions of his past plague him until Nevada comes barreling into his
life. She’s a breath of fresh air to
him, and the chemistry between the two characters is unlike anything you’ve
read before.

White Hot is
the perfect title for this book, and as a PNR fan, this has to be a must read!
